Please note that for Hebrew support we'd need RTL theme support. We can workaround this with RLE/LRE tricks, but I'd suggest not to use this ever.

I have added "he" to the list of languages for the MDC wiki. Let me know if there's anything else that needs doing (it's possible the site has to be restarted for it to take effect, but I don't *think* so).

Documentation in Hebrew should be rooted at https://developer.mozilla.org/he

My apologies for the delay in handling this; the last couple of weeks have been very hectic.

Trying to enter https://developer.mozilla.org/he or trying to create any new document under this path (like https://developer.mozilla.org/he/DOM)  redirect me to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

Am I doing something wrong?

Hm, no, that sounds like a bug in the rewrite rules to me. Can someone check on this?

It works now - strange, but thanks :)
I'll start create Hebrew pages.

I think the wiki needs to be restarted; I bet some of the hosts are accepting /he and others aren't.

oremj: please restart the devmo wiki; thanks!

I've uploaded an Hebrew test page (link below). As I thought in the beginning, the site theme doesn't fully support RTL, as the content layout it still displayed as LTR even after setting the page language property to Hebrew, and the whole difference seems to be some UI strings which got changed to Hebrew. 

Also, I'm missing the translation control from SUMO. Is it possible to track changes on en-us since our last translation? This is very important in order to keep translated content synced with the English content for the same topic.

Can you please add our language to the MDN project on Verbatim? Thanks.
